Ingredients You Need
Whole Wheat Flour
Oat flour
Eggs
Dairy (or dairy-free) Milk – I used homemade oat milk
Pure Organic Cane Sugar – You can substitute it with organic pure coconut or date sugar
Lemon juice & Lemon zest – Lemons provide a light, fresh flavor.
Strawberries – You can use fresh or frozen strawberries, whatever you have at hand!
Butter/Unsweetened Applesauce/Neutrally-tasting oil – For this recipe I used homemade unsweetened applesauce since it’s much cheaper and it’s is plus giving additional juicy flavor from apples. A big plus! However, oil or melted butter do the exact same job of providing the bread with enough moisture and tenderness.
Baking powder & Baking soda – Natural chemical leavening agents for baked goods.
Pro Tips
- To measure your flour, use a scale. The most accurate results will come from doing this. If you don’t have a scale, level off the flour with a knife after fluffing it up with a spoon and spooning it into your cups. The easiest approach to measure flour without cramming the measuring cup too full and making a heavy loaf is to use this method. Also, don’t forget to sift the flour before mixing it in.
- To avoid making the strawberry bread hard and chewy, do not overmix the batter.
- Make sure to mix the strawberries in flour well. The strawberries won’t sink to the bottom of the loaf pan thanks to the flour. Additionally, you may keep a few strawberries to sprinkle over the pan’s batter.
